Why would Israel allow San fran Nan address the Knesset? Pelosi's visit to Syria is a stick in the eye of the White House. It is wrong and dangerous. What are we, two countries now. Syria is Iran's proxy. Syria is the enemy (of Israel too I might add.) How dare Israel sanction this seditious visit particularly since Bush is the best friend Israel has ever had at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi visits Israel Saturday amid row with Bush administration over her April 3 trip to Damascus
Debka

At the head of a delegation to the Middle East of Democratic lawmakers, Pelosi will address the Knesset Sunday, April 1. She will also call on Israeli prime minister Ehud Olmert and Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas.

The Syrian embassy in Washington hailed the trip by the highest ranking US official to visit Damascus in years as “momentous.” In Washington, the state department told the Democratic leader that she should carry a strong message to Syrian leaders: “End their support for Palestinian rejectionist groups, take a constructive stance on Lebanon and obviously do what they can to help support Iraq,” said spokesman Sean McCormack.

Atlas in Minneapolis. Delayed. Flew into the rain and an airport with no signs for taxis. Took a half hour - a train (the tram!) to find a damn taxi. But once I got to the Midwest conference of the Young America Founation, it reminded me of the scene in The Wizard of Oz when Dorothy wakes up in Oz and the film goes from sepia to technicolor. It is hugely satisfying to see young, rational college students converging to take control of their future and the future of this country. My mood improved at once. Shiny happy people!

Knowing what we do about the oppressive environment on left wing indoctrinating college campuses, it can't be easy being a conservative university student. These young people are
wonderful, truly. And brave. Stealth.

John Ashcroft was the man of the hour. Ashcroft thas made it his business to go to college campuses nationwide (just six this month) helping students refute the myths and lies of the liberal left. Ashcroft was passionate. Animated. Inspiring. I spent time chatting with him and his really sweet wife, Janet. She is a involved and energetic as Ashcroft. They are delicious together.

His new book is out, Never Again: Securing America and Restoring Justice and from his remarks and our conversation it is a clear explanation of our defensive measures on the war on Islamism. Every argument the left made agaisnt FISA, the Pariot act is nothing short of nonsensical.

"I question whether individuals and groups who have
chosen to ignore the tenets of the Geneva Convention by
attacking civilian targets should benefit by those
rules,"

"They haven't been
charged because there's nothing to charge them with.
They are being detained until the conflict ends. Would it
make sense to let them go to get another shot at us?"

"This administration has been one of the most
restrained in the use of executive power in the history of
the United States," he said, noting that George
Washington steamed open private letters and Woodrow Wilson
ordered the monitoring of all private communications that
crossed the U.S. border.

"I think religious people should speak their minds as
loudly as they can, but as citizens," he said.
"All citizens should have the right to speak their
minds, but no one should get any special privileges because
of religion."

Ashcroft has been taking to campuses with his much needed message. Here is last week's appearance in Syracuse ascovered by the Syracuse
Post-Standard;

Ashcroft, whose conservative politics and aggressive use of
the Patriot Act made him a lightning rod during President
George W. Bush's first term, used humor and history to
explain why the words Bush spoke to him immediately after
the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks changed the U.S.
government's role forever.

"He said 'Never let this happen again,'
" Ashcroft recalled. "That was such a simple
statement, but it meant a profound reorientation of the
Department of Justice."

Instead of documenting history to prosecute individual
cases, Bush's directive essentially required the office
to change history before it was made, Ashcroft said. The
precautionary steps needed to do that meant limiting some
traditional liberties; an apparent conflict that dominated
both Ashcroft's speech and the 45-minute exchange with
students that followed.

"I don't see liberty and the need for security as
opposing values," Ashcroft said. "I see liberty as
the overwhelmingly dominant value. And whatever you need to
do to make liberty more secure should be done."

Spending the evening soaking up everything Ashcroft was divulging was a unexpected but welcome bonus. I was invited to speak on a panel discussion on blogging, the new media and activism with Scott Johnson of Powerline (now how cool is that?) Scott found me at the cocktail hour and we did the blogger dance of glee. Powerline was my
first blog discovery. It saved my mind post 9/11 and lead me to Little Green
Footballs ........ and invariably here so it was like meeting your birth parent. If it sounds hokey then sue me.
His wife, Sally, is as witty and pretty as you would expect and it felt
like old home week in the sphere. Yeah it was heady alright. Great people.

Ashcroft was excellent. We need forceful voices in the administraton speaking to these issues on a consistent base. Getting it across to the American people. Otherwise there is a vacuum filled by big fat bullies.

Here is Ashcroft on liberty and security

If you have a half hour listen to all of his remarks. His is so plain spoken, so clear, so logical (so refrreshing)......... it defies reason that this country is so twisted in knots.Download Ashcroft330.mp3

March 30, 2007 -- The president of Pace University has publicly apologized to
a campus Jewish group that had accused administrators of using strong-arm
tactics to stop a screening of a documentary on radical Islam.

President David Caputo also wrote in an e-mail to students and faculty this
week that he was sorry for having cast doubt on earlier concerns the group had
about bias incidents against Jewish students.

The group, Hillel, had said two deans warned last fall that showing the film,
"Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West," would implicate club members
as suspects in two campus hate crimes involving the desecration of the Koran,
and the deans threatened to call the police.

"I want both to assure [the Jewish community] that no such coercion or
intimidation was intended and to apologize for any action that may have
unfortunately led to that belief," Caputo wrote.

On Saturday March 31st Americans of all ethnicities and of all
religious backgrounds are urged to take to the streets in peaceful
protest of Islamic radicalism. The primary locations of the rallies
will be in front of several offices of the Council on American
Islamic Relations deemed by many as a radical Islamist front
organization. See the Press Release

I received this call for help from 19 year Airforce. We know what happens in these situations (Sally Field's only good movie.) Just listen to Phyllis Chesler. This little girl has no shot, no shot, once she is living in the Middle East, under the oppression of Islam. Any suggestions?

I am in need of some real help here. Ok well my girlfriend is and I feel helpless. She is divorced from an Arab whom she has a 9 year old daughter with. The problem is that he is very wealthy and has been continually chipping away at the time the two of them get together to include stopping any trips. Yet he has convinced a mediator that he should be allowed to take there daughter to Jordan so she can see more of her fathers culture. I may be mistaken but isn’t that a no extradition country? The mother is a teacher and on a limited budget. Are there any groups out there in the United States that can help her cause this is just the tip of the iceberg and a very volatile situation. He is fighting to get the daughter on the next nine Christmases. Hmmmm Muslim wanting to spend Christmas with his daughter. Also got a court order to send her to an Islamic school in trade for all Christian holidays being spent with the mother. Desperately asking for help for honest hard working Christian mother teaching others the free and honorable way of life here. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Explosives found
earlier this month under a house exceeded the amount used in the main device
that exploded in the 2002 Bali bombings, Indonesia's police chief said today. A
bomb-laden mini-van killed more than 200 people and ripped through nightclubs in
Bali's famed Kuta beach strip on October 12, 2002. That bomb was believed to be
the work of Malaysian Azahari Husin, the alleged bomb maker of Southeast Asia's
Jemaah
Islamiah militant network. Police found at least 20 bombs and large
quantities of bomb-making chemicals when they raided the house in Central Java
more than a week ago. The cache was found after arrests of suspected militants
in Central Java and Yogyakarta provinces...Asked who had bomb-making skills in
Jemaah Islamiah since Azahari died during a raid in late 2005, Gen Sutanto said
the Malaysian had "many students" including a militant called Mujadid arrested
in one of the March raids. Others were still at large.[read article]

A building on the "path of blood" between Hebron
and Kiryat Arba that Jews moved into last week was apparently sold to the Jews
by two Arabs who now face the death penalty.

The Beit HaShalom, Peace House, located amongst Arab buildings
between the Jewish enclave in Hebron and the neighboring large Jewish
neighborhood of Kiryat Arba, was purchased two weeks for the sum of
$700,000.

Immediately following the announcement of the transaction,
Israeli police launched an investigation into the legality of the sale, and
the Defense Ministry under the auspices of
left-leaning Labor Chairman Amir Peretz began searching for grounds to expel the
new Jewish residents of the building.

Pelosi Refusing to Support British on Iran?

It's hard to believe, but that's what we're hearing from Capitol Hill. A
resolution has been proposed in the House of Representatives that condemns Iran
for the seizure of British sailors and marines, expresses support for our
British allies. It's hard to see anything controversial in that. But apparently,
the resolution has languished all week while Pelosi refuses to allow it to come
to the floor.

Earlier today, Congressman Eric Cantor wrote the following letter to
Pelosi:

Dear Madam Speaker:

Fifteen kidnapped British marines and sailors recently became the latest
victims of a systematic Iranian campaign of terror and international defiance.
The illegal seizure of the British forces is a signal that Iran views us as
powerless to prevent it from realizing its aggressive ambitions.

For the sake of our standing in the world, our allies and most importantly
the 15 British personnel and their families, I urge you to bring H. Res. 267 to
the floor today before we adjourn. The resolution calls for the immediate and
unconditional release of the British marines and sailors. It would also call on
the U.N. Security Council to not only condemn the seizure, but to explore
harsher sanctions to counter the growing Iranian threat.

UPDATE: House Silent on British Hostage Crisis

By ANNE FLAHERTY Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON (AP) _ Members of the House left Washington on Friday for their two-week spring break without weighing in on the international crisis tormenting the nation's closest ally: the capture of 15 British sailors and marines by Iran.

The omission by House SpeakerNancyPelosi, D-Calif., is being noted by some Republicans, who say they should have gotten the chance to join the Senate in denouncing Tehran's bold actions.

''I am very disappointed that the speaker chose not to act,'' said Rep. Charles Dent, R-Pa.

''I believe it's important for us as Americans to show our solidarity with the Britons,'' he added in a phone interview Friday. ''The British are our closest allies, and I think we have to stand next to them in a moment like this.''

The Senate on Thursday, before adjourning for its one-week break, passed a resolution condemning the act ''in the strongest possible terms'' and calling for the sailors ''immediate, safe and unconditional release.''

Pelosi's spokesman Brendan Daly said the speaker was reluctant to weigh in on the incident without knowing that such a message would do more good than harm. Daly said the British government had not asked Congress to try to pressure Tehran.

Could you see what the Islamic Republic of Iran would do with this big fat lesbian with a bigger fatter mouth? Islam is unforgiving of homosexuality. Rosie in Islam, now there's a reality show I would love to see. How dare ABC give this leftarded slob access to millions of uninformed Americans where she can spew her hate America propaganda? This is getting so outta hand. hat tip Mara via LGF

I saw this on O'Reilly tonight and I have to give him props. He has taken Rosie and ABC on for conduct that can only be considered seriously dangerous, reckless, and irresponsible . She actually came out as a truther. Yep. The government was behind 9/11. Yep. Despite Bin Laden's protestations. Oh and Bush and Blair plotted to get the British sailors kidnapped. Yep. To instigate a war with Iran. There ought to be a law during wartime .............

"Israel needs effective and competent government leaders to address the matter of Arab Muslim citizens who actively subvert the Jewish State and join terror groups fighting both the State of Israel and our ally, the U.S. in Iraq. To have enemies within is cause for grave concern and the ineffectiveness of Israel's governmental leadership to confront this menace places Israel in double jeopardy." -- M.K., Dr. Arieh Eldad

Leading Israeli Opposition leader, M.K. Prof. Arieh Eldad of the National Union Party, states "that Israeli Arabs citizens who are fundamentalist Muslims are increasingly disloyal. They constitute a menace that could destroy the State given current multicultural treatment of privileged Muslim minorities." said Eldad.

Dr. Eldad is a reserve Brigadier General and was Surgeon General of the IDF Medical Corps. He is an internationally recognized burn wound specialist and plastic surgeon. Dr. Eldad headed the IDF Medical contingent in Rwanda in the wake of the genocide and cholera epidemic in 1994.

Dr. Eldad will focused on: -the current round of Kadimah government U.S. -Saudi peace plan discussions; -his views on annexation of Judea and Samaria and comnsideration of Jordan as the 'real Palestinian state; -the threat of radical Islam to Israel and the West; -prospects for any imminent change in government in Israel.

As a physician Dr. Eldad said "the diagnosis is wrong" and so "the wrong medication prescribed." The two state solution is not the answer. The war is against western civilization. "We can not intervene in the internal war of Islam. Eventually the moderate Sunnis will turn to al qaeda."

"Just another experiment in the huge dimension of human life......Once again we are trying to empower Abbas"

"All for dismantling Israel"......."right of return. Even if we wanted to go with Abu Mazen, it's the same old story. We try to appease by giving land for peace, but once they are engaged in any kind of agreement .......eventually --- we will be helping them to build a terror state in Judea in Samaria."

"Olmert 's approval rating is lower than 3%. His plan lost ground. The fact that he was elected on convergence........ He abandoned it after the war"

"The tragedy of Israseli history trying to find an Arab moderate --since the 1920s."

"Abbas is not a moderate at all. He preaches for the right of return. Even when we try ...........history is dictated by the radicals, by Hamas."

Eldad said he had no problem with the international commmunity at the time.

"The problem was with Israel leaderhip. Their failure in the war was another terrible example of their incompetence and corruption. "

The indispensible OneJerusalem.Org put this call together here;

In a wide-ranging discussion with bloggers, Dr. Arieh Eldad a member of the Israeli Parliament (Knesset) and reserve Brigadier General discusses the serious challenges facing the State of Israel in the near term.

He shares his views on the so-called “moderate” Muslims, including Abu Mazen. He dissects the Saudi “peace plan” and he answers the question of what went wrong in the battle with Hezbollah.

Dr. Eldad expresses his heartfelt belief that Israel must reject the two-state solution that every diplomat seems wedded to and the dire need to educate its young in the principals of Zionism.

Even though he is a member, Dr. Eldad is very clear about the shortcomings of the leadership of the Right wing camp in Israel.

This interview/discussion offers many insights into the political, security, and international challenges facing the State of Israel. It is worth spending some time with an articulate defender of the Jewish state.

What did I come away with. That a two state solution is suicide for Israel and America.

UPDATE: Kenneth Timmerman speaks with Dr. Eldad in his latest piece over at Front Page mag, The Last War;

Arieh Eldad, a leader of the opposition National Union Party in Israel’s Knesset, or Parliament, told me this week while on a trip to the United States that he is convinced there is “no way to avoid the next war” in Lebanon.

He sees the massive rearmament of Hezbollah by Iran, with Syrian assistance, as clear evidence of Iran’s strategy to launch another war against Israel. “Hezbollah is becoming stronger every day,” he said.

Eldad believes Israel must “neutralize Hamas, Hezbollah, and Syria as a preliminary step, or we will not be able to engage Iran.”

By “engaging” Iran he does not mean economic or diplomatic “engagement,” as the State Department might use the term. He is talking about having Israel’s military take out Iranian nuclear and missile sites.

Now that’s engagement.

Dr. Eldad is a plastic surgeon who headed the burns unit at Hadassah hospital for twenty years. He has personally treated Palestinian suicide bombers, only to see them come back after their treatment with bombs strapped to their chests to blow themselves up in the very hospital that saved their lives.

The foes that oppose Israel and America do not reason as we do, he says. “When states have missions that are bigger than life, they are not obeying the basic rules of logic that Western civilization obeys.”

He believes the Islamic Republic of Iran, as a state, is following the same logic as a suicide bomber. “If the goal is to kill the Big Satan [America] or the Small Satan [Israel], then your own life is not to be considered under their logic,” he told me. “The Iranian regime is willing to sacrifice millions and millions of their own people to defeat the Big Satan and the Small Satan.”

Because of this, we need to understand that Tehran regime will not comply with sanctions, and does not care about sanctions. “It’s just not the same logic,” he said.

Dr. Eldad’s fear is that Israel will be “left alone” and have to confront a nuclear Iran. And if that day arrives, he warns, “the world should know that we will be ready to destroy the nuclear infrastructure of Iran at whatever the cost it takes.”

“That means we will be ready to use unconventional weapons, because conventional weapons will not be enough,” he added.

Let's review. Two American task forces and one Marine
Expeditionary unit in the Persian Gulf conducting "war-games." 15 UK sailors and
marines captured by Tehran and now pawns in what looks to become a long-running
series of daily humiliations of a clearly de-fanged and neutered Britain reduced
to the "Pretty please?" stage of diplomacy. Russian intelligence reports of a
"build-up" of American forces on the
borders of Iraq and Iran. A secretary of
state at large in the Mid East enacting a sequel to "Strictly Ballroom" in
Palestine.

And that beat goes on.

At home, a self-gelded opposition party is forced to sneak through a bill
that prohibits Muslim provocateurs from suing ordinary Americans who, on
instructions from their government to report suspicious activities at airports,
do so. While this is going on, partisan hate in DC and on the Internet is
reaching such toxic levels that -- in DC --hazmat suits are about to be issued
to sitting congressperns, Senators, staff, and the lockstep marching media
morons.

[...]

And the blather goes on. Because, well, it is all we have left in the
trepanned national brainpan. Yammering yahoo voices assail us -- the UN says
this, Iran says that, your drool-cupped moron is up in the polls and my feckless
idiot is down. Anna Nicole killed herself because, well, she just had no
understanding of drugs. Do tell? Tell us more.
